To ensure the security of your Password Boss account, you'll be prompted to verify any new device that attempts to sign in. This process helps to prevent unauthorized access and gives you more control over where your account can be accessed. If your device is lost or stolen, you can easily remove it from your account through either the client app or portal. This will deauthorize the device and prevent anyone from accessing your Password Boss account from that device while also removing any sensitive data that may be stored on it.
